many of the problems associated with this caliber are has beens... as long as proper barrel maintance is done, you should have ZERO PROBLEMS...period.

Todays powders are much cleaner burning than they were 25 years ago... todays bullet jackets are much more uniform and strong than they were 25 years ago when the caliber showed these problems... today, if you PROPERLY CLEAN THAT 17 YOU WILL HAVE ZERO PROBLEMS... im shooting one that has over 6000 rounds thru it.. its been cared for properly for over 15 years... and it still shoots bug holes at 150 yards
